Yes, it is generally safe.
Amlip AT contains amlodipine + atenolol. Both are considered compatible with breastfeeding in usual doses, and only very small amounts pass into breast milk.

Amlip-AT (usually Amlodipine + Atenolol) can be used during breastfeeding, but it isn’t preferred: amlodipine is safe with minimal milk transfer, whereas atenolol enters breast milk in higher amounts and may cause bradycardia, lethargy, or poor feeding in the infant—especially in neonates or preterm babies. If possible, safer alternatives like Labetalol or Nifedipine are recommended; if already on Amlip-AT, breastfeeding can continue with monitoring of the baby.
